Ikigai: The Japanese Secret Of Finding Purpose In Life

[MJ DeMarco]

I can't disentangle my love of inventing from my passion for it

Would you have a passion for inventing if your inventions sucked? And no one used them or found value in them, including yourself? My guess is your passion would eventually disappear if the world found no value in your outcomes ... superficial passion is activity based, transformative passion is outcome/solution based.

A musician won't be passionate pounding off-key disharmonic shrill on the piano while an audience covers their ears in terror...

He's only passionate when he plays the piano in a beautiful, harmonic tune that his ears can appreciate, and later, sees his audience also appreciate it.
